The concept is simple, go talk to your dad and stop wasting time on the internet lol

Fundamental misunderstanding? The misunderstanding is you think the world should cater to the uneducated and uninformed. Your dad isn't a lost cause but crusading on the internet to remove memes might be.

Did you just link the meme? If that's the case let me emphasize that it's YOUR responsibility to educate your dad the world will not do it for you. You have the ability to do something about your dad and you cannot do anything about memes on the internet. Your energy responding to anything on Lemmy is wasted energy. You cannot convince someone not to meme but you might have the ability to change the mind of someone in your life. Good luck bud.

I understand your concern and understand what you're saying. My dad voted for Trump in 2016 and I spent 4 years grinding to change his mind and educate him. He voted for Joe in 2020. It's your responsibility to have difficult conversations with your dad and share your views. I'm not saying you can change his mind but you should be explaining to him what a meme is and how it's not real life. You'll be much more understanding and have a kinder touch than some rando that hears him sharing his views and doesn't take kindly to them. I appreciate your eagerness to explain your reasoning but I would argue that energy would be better spent educating your dad rather than telling the internet not to meme.

Post-honeymoon bump? You've used this term in multiple of your comments. I'm interested to see the polls after a debate. Also... @aussie.zone is a little sus

You really think it's not ridiculous to point out how ridiculous it all is? There is value in calling out the elephant in the room however there's no value in validating Fox News and giving into the grift. That only benefits Fox News and Trump.

I fail to see how one impedes the other, in fact I would argue it would help her win. If she's running on doing just that why wouldn't she take a shot. Why hide? You think any Fox News fanboys would be swayed by anything Kamala says? Her time would be better spent attracting unregistered voters and she could do that by saying the quiet part out loud.

Being nice to idiots has proven to be hardly effective. Kamala needs to read word for word the arguments the Fox News lawyers made when they were in court for the dominion case. Fox News isn't news it's entertainment and they don't employ journalists they employ entertainers. This is what Fox News said.

Don't give Fox News respect. Start talking shit about it right now. Call this what it is, a scared old weird man who will only debate Harris on a "news" network currently paying billions for lying to everyone about the last election. Harris will treat Trump and the "journalists" playing moderators like children which is how we should've been treating them for years. Talking to them like adults validates their lies and bullshit.

I think you're half correct. It's going to be Buttigieg. Not your average mayo and white bread guy but a mayo and white bread guy. It would make for a strong ticket with a lot of appeal. With the bonus of not having a contestable senate seat or governorship because he's currently a US secretary.

I need the sauce cause that's hilarious if it's true.

Helldiver's The Movie (lemmings.world)

Hear me out guys. I feel like a movie for Helldiver's has some potential. Arrowhead could build a Helldiver's universe and dive into Managed Democracy or it could just be a series of weird dystopian events involving bugs and automatons. Either way with the right care it could make Starship Troopers look like the original Blade Runner. I'm not an advocate for this kind of thing but if they made it feel like Managed Democracy propaganda I feel like it would be great. Imagine General Brasch on the silver screen.

 

Twice a week a pilot aborts a takeoff because other jets are entering an active runway. The FAA's solution is a 10 hour break between shifts rather than 9 hours.

 

What could go wrong?
